Chapter 3: Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with
the information on your Pocket PC Terminal. Synchronization compares the data on your Pocket
PC Terminal with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent
information. For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC Terminal with your
choice of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop
computer.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel documents between your Pocket PC
Terminal and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information, for
example, e-mail messages. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for
specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your Pocket PC Terminal data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC Terminal and desktop computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you
can synchronize continually while the Pocket PC Terminal is connected to your desktop
computer (using a cable), or only when you choose the synchronize command.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized.
For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.
For information on installing ActiveSync, see the documentation accompanying the ActiveSync
CD. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.
